WASP is one of those companies that just won’t stop innovating 3D printing technology, from unique DLP solutions to novel material extruders. WASP BigDelta: A 12m tall 3D printer for eco-friendly housing

The D-Shape 3D printer consists of a rigid 4×4 meter frame, a large flat bed and a custom print head holding up to 300 nozzles.Ĥ. This has allowed creator Enrico Dini to manufacture everything from large 3D printed coral reefs to, potentially, regolith-based, 3D printed houses on the moon (at least, the European Space Agency seems think so.) Rather than PLA or other thermoplastics, the D-Shape 3D printer works with natural or artificial sand, which is deposited layer by layer, and then fused together with a binder. Good news, since the 3D Print Canal House project has already been in the works since 2013.ģ. Furthermore, the KamerMaker 2.0 is expected to double the 3D printing speeds of its predecessor (which was able to reach 240mm/s) while consuming even less energy. Instead, it has been designed with an automated material input system and website-based remote control, ensuring that it is 3D printing 24/7. The upcoming KamerMaker 2.0 is already being built on-site, and will feature 200% of the original print volume, since the control room at the top has been eliminated. The KamerMaker, by Dutch DUS architects and Fiction Factory, is a super scaled-up FFF 3D printer currently being used to 3D print a canal house in Amsterdam (Kamer Maker in Dutch literally translates to ‘Room Maker.’)

KamerMaker 3D Printer: 3D printing a house in Amsterdam It is available in BAAM Size 1 with a build volume of 140"圆5"x34" and a BAAM Size 2 with a build volume of 240"x90"x72".Ģ. Updates (Feb 15, 2016): According to Matt Garbarino of CINCINNATI, although the BAAM is a prototype it is available for sale to companies who want to be leaders in the technology. Though not for sale, the BAAM 3D printer is currently available for service.

With a build volume of 6 x 2.3 x 1.9 meters, Cincinnati Incorporated’s BAAM 3D printer comes with a host of exceptional qualities: its extruder and feeding system, as well as its size and speed allow for large parts to be made quickly, and its ability to work with thermoplastic materials, as well as its open architecture for material vendors keeps costs low.īAAM’s predecessor is already in the works, and promises to be bigger, better and even cheaper than the original.

The Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) machine is an industrial size 3D printer designed for the purpose of 3D printing cars-namely, Local Motors’ 3D printed Strati, a full-scale 3D printed Shelby Cobra, and ORNL’s 3D printed utility vehicle that can produce and share clean energy with a 3D printed house. Cincinnati Incorporated’s BAAM: 3D printing an entire car Our list of the top 20 biggest 3D printers covers everything from industrial metal 3D printers, to record-breaking construction 3D printers, to low-cost 3D printers you could potentially keep at home. Though you’d need a pretty powerful microscope to see the tiniest color picture ever 3D printed (small enough to fit inside a human hair), there’s no way you could miss the giant 3D printed airplane parts, 3D printed furniture, 3D printed cars and yes, even 3D printed buildings coming out of these colossal 3D printers. That’s why we’ve put together a list of the top 20 biggest 3D printers right now, and the various large-format 3D printing projects they are capable of. We know that bigger doesn’t always mean better, but when it comes to 3D printing, the ever-growing list of absolutely massive, large size 3D printing ventures is hard to ignore.
